Not really, the writing has been on the wall for quite a while… If at all it’s the realisation that average people can’t really flee from it.

My concerns were more about the airflow path and less about actually interchangeable coolers, although those are a thing. Like it just feels wrong to blast the air into a solid PCB… That’s kind of solved with flow through designs, but a tower style cooler would probably be less noisy.

Sometimes the worry about future things is necessary though. It’s just unfortunate that not doing that all the time is so difficult. That’s only true if thinking stuff over is already worrying about something. It’s a fine line, I guess.

I do like the modularity of discrete GPUs though. But a cooling setup similar to CPUs would’ve been better for airflow.

Tbh, the whole card format feels very legacy, even for my Vega 56 “dual slot” card, and that thing “only” consumes ~230W. If ppl back then could’ve foreseen what obscenely power hungry parts would be shoehorned into the expansion card format, they probably would’ve chosen a different approach for GPUs specifically.

Don’t forget about morals, they often play a role in “holding” me back too.

The bullshit jobs are tiring too though, after all you have to deal with a lot of bullshit.

How is this a shitpost?
